1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Simple mutual-inhibition networks are frequently occurring motifs in transcriptional regulatory networks for cell lineage commitment. Stable attractors represent cell commitment states. However, how progenitor-specific transcription factors stabilise progenitor cells and commit them to different cell fates remains unexplained. In this study, the authors represent the cell commitment motifs composed of mutual-inhibition regulation and progenitor-specific transcription factors, and develop associated mathematical model to understand how specific cell fate decisions are made. Bifurcation analysis and numerical simulation show that the model could exhibit multiple stable steady states corresponding to progenitor and committed cell states. The transitions between different cell states correspond to different commitment processes. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate that different commitment patterns, for example, haematopoietic and neural fate decisions fall within the scope of proposed framework.
